R170 (Ethane)
R170 is refrigerant grade ethane. It is a natural, or "not in kind" refrigerant suitable for use in very low temperature refrigeration applications. R170 is non-toxic with zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and very low GWP (Global Warming Potential). It is a flammable refrigerant and therefore not suitable for retrofitting existing fluorocarbon refrigerant systems.
